Empress Wu raised her head and looked at Tongtong, "Tonger, I am your aunt."
Tongtong nodded, and then sighed, "A-Niang, I only dare to say this because you are A-Niang."
Li Zhi felt relieved, "That's what Tongtong is like, she will show weakness! She will put money on the other person's face without blushing. Whose mother is the queen at this moment? She did not regard her as Xian'er's mother, even the prince
She can depose her and wish she could kill her. The princess of the country is not a child raised by her side. Can she be a loving mother at this moment? Can she let things fall to pieces just because of the word "Aniang"?
Impossible!
But Tongtong doesn't insist on exposing this face. No matter how bloody the matter is, she is willing to cover it with a fig leaf. This is actually what a mature politician should look like.
It is a pity for the thousandth time. If Tong'er and Xian'er had changed places, now it would not be the queen who deposed Xian'er, but Tong'er who would force the queen back to the harem.
He was speechless, and he didn’t say anything more for Xian’er. Now that things had come to a point, it was already an extravagant hope for him to hope that Xian’er would be the crown prince! The queen left no escape route. She would never ask Xian’er to be the crown prince again. She had to be on guard.
Xian'er counterattacked. He had not agreed to depose the crown prince before, just because he had room for bargaining and could save Xian'er's life.
He held his son's hand and stopped him from talking.
Whatever your imperial sister fights for you today, you must accept it first. It is best not to go far, but to stay in the capital. Otherwise, your life will still not be saved.
Empress Wu pointed to the side, "Tong'er and the British Duke, please take a seat."
Call the Fourth Master a British Duke?!
The fourth master immediately handed over his hand and said, "If you say so, I have no choice but to return to the Duke's mansion! Today's decree was announced to the prince-in-law, and it is only the prince-son-in-law who is here!"
Empress Wu nodded with satisfaction. What she wants is your attitude. Then, she looked at her daughter, "Tong'er, princess of the country, if there is no British government, what is the point of holding the country?"
Lin Yutong laughed, "Does the government rely on military power? No! The government relies on two words, one is 'public' and the other is 'righteous'. Serve the public wholeheartedly, have no selfish thoughts, do not seek personal feelings, and be public-minded.
Seeking justice and seeking fairness with righteousness, what do you get? People's hearts! The people of the world believe in the Princess Zhenguo, and the ministers in the court respect the Princess Zhenguo. They believe my words! I said the prince was wronged, and tomorrow I will
If a censor dares to be killed in the main hall, he will avenge the prince. Mother, my son has never relied on military power."
Empress Wu narrowed her eyes and looked at her daughter.
Tongtong showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "But mother, I am not fair all the time! Let's take this matter as an example. If I were really fair, I would hide but not speak. You can't do it tonight.
Just kill the prince, right? You still have to ask someone to interrogate and close the case. It's best to make it look like it's real. For example, take those armors out on the street and give them to everyone in front of the world.
A fire was set on fire, and then the prince was convicted of conspiracy. This must require a time gate! At this time gate, if I am really fair, what will I do? I will stand up and shout, telling the world the truth.
But Er... didn't do this. When Er entered the palace, Er told Aniang frankly, but Er didn't agree!
In this matter, I have to say that I am partial to my mother, and I have not been absolutely fair. To be honest, I don’t understand why the mother does not depose the virtuous son. In fact, how old is he? Twenty
The person next year has a father, an emperor, a mother, and a queen, and brothers and sisters below. He has grown up too smoothly and suffered too little. If he grows a few years older and has a father, queen, and queen to protect him for a few years, he will mature! He will mature!
Brother He Huang, how much better than many princes in the history books? How can the queen mother win? Because you are his biological mother, no one he can guard against can guard against you! The son told Xian'er many times
, it is not easy for our mother to reach this point. Xian'er is considerate of you, but you, the person we should trust the most, stabbed you hard!
Knowing that the prince was not at fault, I chose to let a good prince be deposed! So where is the fairness that I insisted on? Now, I am just asking for a decent result for Xian Er...
…Auntie, aren’t you willing to do even this?”
Empress Wu was speechless, and the hall was quiet.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Li Xian worriedly. She felt that this incident was just a dream until now! She was serving Empress Wu, but she didn't know how it happened.
At this moment, the only thing that can be saved is the prince's life.
After Princess Zhenguo said these words, she knew that the prince's life was saved.
Princess Zhenguo's soft words actually contained a threatening meaning! She made it clear what she was going to do next! She said that if the queen did not compromise tonight, unless she died, she would
Just publish the truth!
Yes! Both the people and the court officials will believe in the princess! Some people are doubtful, but what about those who oppose the queen? They usually can't find an excuse to criticize the queen, but now that they have such an excuse, they will be the first to do so.
Come to face the queen.
The queen can't just focus on the present and not think about the future! The princess is coming back from Ci'en Temple tonight, and she can't hide it from anyone! Unless she kills the princess tonight too! But the princess is so easy to kill?
One: The prince-in-law is the British prince. This does not mean that the prince-in-law emphasized that the person coming tonight is the prince-in-law, he is just the prince-in-law.
Second: The Imperial Guards know the princess's abilities, and they really want to put swords and axes on the princess. The Imperial Guards don't care about the princess, they have to care about the saint. If the princess joins forces with the saint, and the conflict intensifies, the queen will face something different.
The success fell short, but everything was lost. In fact, the saint may not want to join forces with the princess, but the saint knows better that the princess is a daughter, and it is difficult for the princess to obey her orders if she forces her daughter to rebel against her mother. Therefore, the saint does not force, he hopes to take one
Balance. And the queen must also understand this truth, and she will not push things in the worst direction.
Thirdly, the princess is brave and is in a hurry. Before the guards come in, she may be able to kill the people in this hall.
Taking all these factors into consideration, she can be sure that the Queen will definitely compromise!
Sure enough, the queen spoke!
The queen let out a long sigh, "I... don't know the extent of the so-called conspiracy. When I got the news, I was shocked and angry."
Lin Yutong lowered his eyelids and said nothing! The prince is plotting rebellion? To be honest, how many years can the saint live in poor health? Even if he is alive, the power will be tilted towards the prince as much as possible. The prince is full and supported by hundreds of pieces of armor.
Conspiracy? It means that the prince dislikes Empress Wu. Then when he ascends the throne and justifiably demands the return of power from the Queen Mother, won't he have a better chance of winning? Li Xian is just a straight-tempered person, not that there is a problem with his brain. You actually said that you
Shocked and angry?
As for the East Palace, you can either enter the East Palace from the Imperial City or from the Yanxi Gate. How can you transport the armor in without disturbing people if the handlers are so good?
Unless it was stuffed in during the search!
Really! The process from the prince’s motives to the prince’s so-called rebellion is too rough to watch.
Empress Wu attributed it to the fact that she was frightened and angry at the time, and then she did this.
Then what?
Then Empress Wu said, "Things...it's just that kind of thing! Xian'er is unprepared and falls in the same place over and over again. That's really not suitable for the position of a prince. Let's talk about this matter today.
”
As he said that, he looked at Li Zhi, "Don't the emperors have to secure their throne first before they can think about anything else? Compared to that, who is more suitable, Xian'er or Xian'er?"
There is no way in the royal family to talk about scheming against your brother! Why did Li Shimin kill his own brother?
Choosing an emperor is not about choosing a morally perfect person. He has the ability to seize the throne and the ability to defend the throne. Why not?
This was the condition set by Empress Wu. Li Xian could not be punished, but Li Xian would be the next crown prince.
Just when Tongtong was about to speak, Fourth Master pressed Tongtong's hand.
Sure enough, I heard Li Zhi say, "Yes!"
As soon as this word was spoken, Empress Wu raised her voice and said: "Prince Xuanying will enter the palace immediately."
Lin Yutong sighed inwardly. This time Li Zhi misjudged Empress Wu! Li Zhi thought that Empress Wu wanted to find a puppet emperor who was easy to control, but Empress Wu thought that Li Xian was the best solution! It was difficult to establish him, but
It is easy to destroy him.
Li Zhi thought that Empress Wu wanted to be a queen or even empress dowager who would not let go of her power. But what Empress Wu thought was that a woman born as an orphan dared to call herself empress. I was so powerful that I could easily depose the prince and establish him. I
Why can't she be called empress?
This cognitive error caused Li Zhi to agree to Empress Wu's request without hesitation to appoint Li Xian as the crown prince.
Empress Wu turned to look at Tongtong, "This matter... you don't agree to it either?"
Lin Yutong sighed, in fact, it is okay to appoint Li Dan as the prince, but if you really want to appoint Li Dan, Empress Wu will find it troublesome! Li Dan is very aware of current affairs and will never argue with Empress Wu! If you don't argue, you won't make mistakes. If you don't make mistakes, it will be difficult to deal with!
Bringing Li Dan in is simply giving away someone's life! Think about that kid who has always lived a cautious life, why bother bringing him in?
Moreover, Empress Wu asked Li Xian to be the crown prince for only one reason. He made a mistake and was shamed by his courtiers. If she wanted to go further, she had to find an emperor who could depose him at any time!
Since he was destined to be deposed, why did Tongtong argue?
Lin Yutong looked at Empress Wu and looked at her.
Empress Wu understood that her daughter knew her purpose and where her goal was! One thing she said was right, that is, she still supported her mother-in-law! In planning such a major event, she would not do anything
Roadblock.
But Tongtong also had a request, "There must be an explanation for this matter!"
Empress Wu pondered for a moment, "The prince is suddenly seriously ill, is that enough?"
Li Xian laughed out loud all of a sudden. There were tears on his face, but he smiled happily! He forcefully pulled his hand back from Li Zhi's hand and stood up: "Empress of Heaven, you are not going to die alone."
, you are going to die alone! Do you know why the emperor brother and the emperor's sister-in-law do not have children so far? That's because they know that the deposed prince's lineage will have descendants, which is also a nightmare for the descendants! Now, it is to keep them
How many days can Gu's life be saved? Won't he die sooner or later? The Queen knows the outcome! As a prince, how can others rest assured that this lineage will not die? You have never given it to me from the beginning.
Gu, you didn’t leave a way for Gu’s descendants to survive! If I had known today, why would you give birth to us? Yes! If it weren’t for you, there would be no us, and we wouldn’t be where we are today. But by the same token, if it weren’t for us, you would
Do you think your father can tolerate you until today? Gu understands what happened today! The person who wants Gu’s life has always been Gu’s biological mother, your empress of heaven! Yes, Gu’s life was given by you... So today
Son, I will return it to you!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the hairpin from his head and stabbed it into his neck!
Lin Yutong grabbed the cup on the table, threw it away, and put it in Li Xian's hand. Li Xian was stunned, without any hesitation, turned around and hit the pillar in the hall! Lin Yutongfei also seemed to rush towards it, feeling in his heart
It was almost cold, he really wanted to die.
She always carried needles with her, because she gave Li Zhi and Empress Wu acupuncture, so she always carried them with her. The rush to administer the needles now could have cost Li Xian his life.
At this moment, Li Xian's head and face were covered with blood, and he was breathing heavily, "...Sister...Sister..."
Lin Yutong's tears suddenly fell down, "Don't talk! Don't talk! Be obedient, I can save your life! Be obedient."
"Sister...Give me your life...Give it back to her!"
Pay it back! Pay it back! She gave you a nine-death life, and you have a nine-death chance to save your life. If you really pay it back, "Don't seek death again! Don't seek death anymore."
Li Xian grinned and panted and smiled at Tongtong, "Sister...everyone in the world is miserable! He is not loved when he is born, and he is disgusted when he dies. Mother and son turn against each other, and brothers become enemies...My younger brother was born into a noble family.
, endured all kinds of punishments including extreme cold and extreme pain... Sister, I have no regrets for my brother."
Li Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood, "You bastard—bastard—my father is still alive, and you actually want to abandon him?"
Lin Yutong pressed Li Xian's acupuncture points, "Don't think too narrowly. I will protect you for one day. Don't talk. I will send you to the emperor right now..."
Li Xian shook his head, "Don't go and cause trouble to the emperor... I want to ask you two more things..."
Well! You say! You say.
"Live, I can't live well, I can't live... I can't afford to die... Send my younger brother to become a monk, and my younger brother goes to Ci'en Temple to become a monk..." Li Xian held Tongtong's hand fiercely, "Sister... I have a family, don't you?"
If you don’t have a family, how can you care about it... You have nothing to worry about, you can only become a monk... After my younger brother became a monk, he had three sons and adopted a distant family. He stayed in the capital for a long time, not seeking wealth, but seeking food and clothing..."
Lin Yutong burst into tears all of a sudden and couldn't even speak.
"My younger brother also has an infant daughter... who was born to my concubine in difficult labor. Her biological mother died. I was afraid that she would not survive without someone to look after her, so I gave her to the emperor's brother and asked the emperor's sister-in-law to raise her on my behalf...
…”
The whole hall was filled with low sounds of sobbing. Shangguan Wan'er knelt on the ground, digging her fingers into the blanket on the ground. Tears fell down her cheeks, and she became wet in the blink of an eye. The prince she saw at first sight was a tall and handsome man.
The young man she knew well was an upright, gentle and good man. He was the person Wan'er secretly kept in her heart. But now, such a man could not bear to be humiliated and became like that. The pain was overwhelming for no reason, and she regretted it.
, she regretted that if she had been more careful, attentive, and warned in advance, things would not have turned out like this.
At this time, it was announced from outside: His Royal Highness is here.
Lin Yutong performed the acupuncture on Li Xian and barely managed to hang on. Then he saw King Ying coming in with his shoulders shrunk. She stood up in a hurry. Seeing this, King Ying did not dare to step forward. Lin Yutong walked over step by step, and he shrank.
Lin Yutong's neck stepped back step by step, and Lin Yutong slapped him in the face, "Disobedience to the king is disloyal; putting parents in a dilemma is unfilial; stirring up trouble for personal gain and killing innocent people is unkind; betraying brothers is unkind.
To be unjust; to be stupid and not aware of oneself is to be ignorant; to rely on evil sycophants to seek the world is unwise. How dare you, an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, ignorant and unwise person, conquer the world?!"
